Actually, I am going to change this to restore the old code path and just put a warning right before it. I am doing this with the typical persona of somebody using this (deprecated) code in mind. If I were using cutqc still, I'd be very surprised if I upgraded and my old code that used a cloud qasm simulator suddenly uses a hardware backend instead. Better is for the user to have an error occur, and to be able to deal with it as they see fit. With the warning, they'll have a bit more context for why the qasm simulator is suddenly failing and what to do to fix it (pass backend_names).

I had not noticed before, but the section on setting up the sampler primitive appears twice in the second cutqc tutorial. So I was able to remove the first appearance.
